Title A name given to the resource Argentine and German Expedition to Theodosia to Observe the Total Solar Eclipse of 21 August, 1914 Type The nature or genre of the resource Site Description An account of the resource The Argentine National Observatory sent an expedition in their second attempt to measure the deflection of stellar rays by the Sun. They were meant to be joined by a expedition from the Berlin Observatory led by Freundlich, however due to the outbreak of war, the German party were arrested. Unfortunately, (for all eclipse parties in the Russian Empire), their views were again obscured by cloud. The Argentine party would later plan to perform the experiment in 1919, but the National Government refused to authorise the mission, so it didn't go ahead. <p><a href="https://eclipse-history.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/how-the-start-of-world-war-1-disrupted-the-1914-total-solar-eclipse-expeditions/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Read article</a>.</p> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 21/08/1914 Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 7 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived tsee Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource am619@st-andrews.ac.uk Spatial Coverage Spatial characteristics of the resource. current,45.03367,35.37536; Europeana Specific elements of the Europeana Semantic Elements.
